Loney has developed into a very good defensive 1B, and made some of our infield arms (especially the departed Raffy Furcal) look better by digging out their crap throws. Whoever replaces him needs to possess that ability, else it’s a push.

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 02:59:47 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=89204#comment-201302It would great to get either Prince or Albert on the Dodgers next year, but probably not going to happen. That being the case, a Gold Glove, solid hitting James Loney is a good choice at 6 or 7 million dollars a year. One of these days James might put together a great entire season instead of great half-seasons. A return of a healthy Adrian Beltre at about half the price of one of these two stars would go along way to getting the Dodgers back into contention, but, also probably not going to happen. Colletti is disastrous at free agent signing.

Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:16:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=89204#comment-201253If this guy had been hitting all season Kemp’s numbers would have been ridiculous. And if they can afford to bring Prince into the lineup behind Kemp, then this team instantly becomes a contender, if not the favorite, in that division. Prince could also donate about 10 lbs. to that stick-figure SS on Divorce McCourt, it would benefit both.

He’s still just 27, and his likely $6 million salary in arbitration isn’t all that prohibitive for a team not in bankruptcy proceedings.
